This is a very tough sport ... It's a Marathon. This is my first real season. I've gained a great appreciation for those of you who have bee at it for yeats and had success. It seems as though the odds are against you from the start. In the last week I've killed a dozen svb larvae, countless cuc beatles and caught 2 chucks and a raccoon and there is still almost 2 months to go!...OK I'm done venting. Thanks...Chris

And even if you are lucky enough to have a handle on the "outside" influences the thing blows up on its own! Best of luck. Just splitting at the seams here.

All things considered this is the most rewarding and relaxing sport I have ever participated in! My wife and I are both Martial Artist, and compared to getting ribs broke by "teenagers with out control" this is very easy. Best of luck to all and push those plants hard as now is the time to show em, or blow em....
